A Shell Full of Clarity - The Ludwig Classic Maple 5x14-Inch Snare Drum - Gold Sparkle

The Classic Maple all-maple shell features the clarity and warmth players have come to expect from maple drums, plus the projection and musicality that has maintained Ludwig's reputation for snare drum innovation and excellence. Ludwig's wood snares have remained popular throughout the company's nearly 100-year history and were the drums that helped establish the fat backbeat and deep grooves of pop and R&B music in the 1970s and 80s.
